These letters should come from three different sources (i.e., former professors, supervisors, former supervisors, people you have worked with in committees and on projects, counselors, etc.) One letter from a former professor is preferred. Multiple recommendations from professors or employers may not come from the same department. Your advocate must provide contact information. All letters must be signed and on letterhead. Recommendations from family and friends are not acceptable.

If you do not wish your supervisor to know you are applying to graduate school, you will need to provide other professional recommendations. You might contact past employers, colleagues within your firm, or even customers.

General letters will be accepted, but we prefer that the recommendations be submitted on our forms since the general letters may not address all of the information requested. Please send one or the other, not both.

The admissions committee will review your entire application. First, we look to determine that you have the academic ability to handle challenging, graduate-level academic work. In addition to your undergraduate transcript and your GMAT scores, we look for a history of setting and achieving challenging goals in every aspect of your life.

We seek to bring together highly motivated and academically talented students from a broad range of backgrounds. Admission is competitive and seeks excellence. Candidates should be proactive individuals who can contribute in a highly interactive, team-based learning environment and who have meaningful life and professional experiences upon which to draw. Most of all, we are seeking focused, motivated students who are dedicated to success.

We ask that you list your past jobs on the application, but the resume gives you the opportunity to communicate the nature of the positions and your major professional accomplishment.

There is no specified minimum; however, most students fall into the 2-10 year range. The average for the MBA program is typically about 5 years.

About 10% of the students in the MBA Program are admitted directly from college. These students have usually demonstrated exceptional academic ability through test scores and past grades, and have held meaningful internship and part-time work experiences.

You can learn more about GMAT, view sample test questions, and register for the test at www.mba.com.

There is no longer a minimum score requirement. There is no single GMAT requirement that will guarantee admission. The GMAT range of admitted students is broad, typically from 470-520.

The Toulouse School of Graduate Studies admits students on a graduate non-degree (GNDE) basis. This option is open to U.S. citizens and permanent residents who meet minimum GPA requirements. The GNDE classification allows you to take up to twelve hours of 5XXX level courses before being officially admitted to a graduate program. Once you have taken the GMAT and meet the entrance standards, you may change your major from GNDE to the appropriate professional concentration. Contact a College of Business Graduate Academic Advisor in BA 229 for further information.

All of our programs require a GMAT in order to be accepted into a program, but U.S. citizens or permanent residents can begin early in the Graduate non-degree status and take up to 12 hours without the GMAT. Please note that this kind of enrollment does not allow for financial aid and is only offered to permanent residents. * All GNDE students must come in for an advising session prior to registering in their first semester.

Degree plans should be filed within your first semester of enrollment. To file a degree plan, contact your departmental advisor to set an appointment. You should receive an official copy of your degree plan in the mail approximately five weeks after meeting with your departmental advisor.

The worksheet will be forwarded to the College of Business Graduate Programs Office (BA 229) for completion. A finalized copy will be mailed to your home address.

You have six years to finish the program once you are admitted. Graduate level course more than six years must be repeated. You may also contact the Graduate Programs Office for information regarding a time extension.
